Fringe Hatalong

Yarn: I intended to buy Cumbria, the beautiful yarn featured in the pattern, but I was seduced by Bumblebirch Forage, beautifully dyed by a local indie dyer right here in Portland. The yarn is 220 yards of superwash merino in color Cranberry.

Needles: US 4s (brim) and US 6s

I really enjoyed knitting this pattern – the cables are fun and interesting, and although it takes a little longer than I originally anticipated because of the 4″ of ribbed brim, it never got boring or tedious. I’m tempted to knit another in Cumbria . . .
